Nah, that's not even an argument
the mcc are an anachronism...and their "walk up rights" certainly are.
The government should have paid for much more of the northern stand build and substantially reduced their seat allocation to afl matches.
Those wooden benches will be worth a fortune one day.take your part of Subiaco oval home nite
So if MCC members are not interested in going to big prelim finals that what will they go to?
The boxing day test surely isn't enough to fork out annual fees for their membership.

A great Preliminary Final weekend all around, excepting of course the small matter of a lack of close games.
Yesterday's PF was the 11th highest of all time, and the third highest in the modern safety standards era.
All time leader is Collingwood v Richmond in 1969 - 108,279
Modern day leader is Geelong v Collingwood in 2007 - 98,002
Every Prelim over 90k:
Overall this was the 6th highest attended set of Prelims ever. There are a couple of surprises in the list, for me anyway.
First surprise is that number 1 on the list is actually 1962, which had 2 Prelims between Carlton & Geelong courtesy of a draw the first time around. The replay drew 12k more fans than the original and is one of only 2 Prelims to outdraw the GF of the same year (Geel v Coll in 2007 is the other).
The other surprise is that this weekend isn't the highest drawing set of Prelims with only one Melbourne game. Even more surprising is that the record was set during the renovations at the MCG when Collingwood v Port and Sydney v Brisbane both drew in the 70k range.

I’ve got 1 plank and probably 1/3 of another one from Waverley park as well stored away at my mothers place from the final game there!
i may put put both on eBay at some point in time if I eventually fall under the spell of a beautiful woman some day

Who has the goal posts hijacked from the Essendon v St.Kilda game or did you all burn them on the night to keep each other warm ?
I didn't know that Richmond had been involved in the biggest Preliminary final crowd. Nice to know.
we now have the record of being involved in the biggest Elimination final, Qualifying final, Preliminary final and preliminary final VS inter state opposition attendances.
Almost a full house but we will never have the full set because the Carlton V Collingwood 121,000 GF in 1969 cannot be bettered barring major work at the MCG and we will have to settle for second in Grand finals with the 1970 crowd v Carlton.
Do you know who hold the semi finals record?
Dont forget everyone staff, police etc in the MCG were counted in those days of the over 100,000 crowds unlike today when only the people who turn up with tickets are counted If that standard was used now all the recent GFs and some PR finals would we well over 100,000 "attendance".

Sorry, that's Collingwood's (oh ok, and Carlton's as well
) from 1970 - 112k. The final 8 SF record is Melbourne v StKilda from 1998.
VFL GF only 17,126 The Tiger Army a bit hungover?
You would have thought Richmond would have at least pulled 25,000 plus.

17k is in line with other afl aligned v vfl grand finals. Apparently they sold an extra 5k tickets Saturday night.

Just think about it. The poor old NRL would kill to have had any of the SANFL VFL or WAFL crowds at most of their Sydney based finals games.
The NSW Cup final was played over the weekend and apparently it got less than 1000.

QLD Cup had a record 11,000.

In terms of access, no. But in terms of face value of the tickets, they were very similar to AFL prices.
Interesting to see that prices have already come down. There are seats available for $65 now that weren't there yesterday.
I call bullshit i was in the AFL reserve and no way their were empty seats there equivalent to the MCC . Even on the replay i saw top deck full, MCC on the other hand could see easily at the ground rows of empty seats plus on the replay saw it too.

I'm with you on this. They want us to believe that 1500 people, or 7.5% of the section were missing on Saturday? Seems incredibly unlikely to me from where I was sitting.

I was behind the goals in the upper level of the Ponsford stand, the only bank of empty seats I could see was immediately to my left, about four bays across, right up the back of the top level - not sure who those seats belong to.
